What is a project?

A project is generally a time-bound initiative that pursues a specific goal and consists of multiple tasks, people, workflows, or resources. Projects help structure work, organize processes, and make progress transparent - regardless of whether they involve small internal activities or large, complex undertakings.

What is a project in smenso?

In smenso, a project is the top-level object under which all other elements - such as tasks and subtasks - are organized. Projects form the foundation for planning, managing, and documenting work.

The structure is flexible, allowing a wide range of use cases to be represented. A project in smenso can, for example, be:

• A small internal organizational project, such as planning a meeting or coordinating recurring activities.

• A larger initiative involving many contributors, multiple departments, and structured work packages.

• A complex project with resource planning, where capacities are managed, time is tracked, and responsibilities are coordinated.

• A project with external integrations, such as cost tracking or synchronization with other systems.

These examples show only a small portion of what is possible.
Thanks to smenso’s flexible structure, a project can represent virtually any type of work process - from simple to highly complex.
